KING COUNTRY LEASES
COMMITTEE SET W (From Our Own Correspondent.! TE KUITI, Thursday. As the outcome of a meeting held on Wednesday, with the object of setting up a committee to evolve a basis for the removal of anomalies and disabilities as between native owners and lessees, Messrs. J. X. Brodie, R. Boddy, T. Hunt and W. A. Lee were appointed a committee. Mr. Jones, of the Native Lands Consolidation Commission, on behalf of the natives, said that the owners should be approached individually by lessees. This would be better than any scheme being propounded for general application. Regarding the Native Leases Commission. Mr. Jones said the natives were rather antagonistic to it, and he thought it would have been better if a committee as now suggested, had been formed prior to the commission. Mr. Boddy said the committee might go a long way toward removing the misunderstandings existing between Pakeha and Maori. The committee is to await the report of the Native Leases Commission, and any data it can collect can then be used in connection with the decisions of the commission.
